Common questions relating to Hillsborough Lease Extensions

  • Hello, I am looking somewhere around or in Hillsborough 8-10 years lease remaining houses. I dont know if I am on the correct site. Can I find lease remaining houses from here?
  • I'm planning to make an offer on a house in Hillsborough but I'm a little worried about it being leasehold. Do you know what title absolute means and is this regarding the lease? Also, we have asked to see a copy of the lease but the homeowner said they might not have it. We are worried about restrictions, and dont know what to do. We have also been approved for the mortgage but the lender doesn't know its leasehold. Do houses qualify for lease extension? Will this affect Alliance & Leicester giving us the mortgage now?

  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?
  • We are in a building consisting of three flats in Hillsborough and have been offered to buy the freehold for 7k per flat rather than go for lease extensions. We are all in agreement that we want to do this but how do we get started and what is the likely cost?

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Hillsborough where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has put forward a much higher amount. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?
  • I'm seeking some advice with regard to a lease extension on my apartment. The plan is to do this in nine months time as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good lawyers who specialises in lease extensions. Preferably nearby in Hillsborough?
  • I have a lease of seventy four years remaining on my flat in Hillsborough. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
